MARK 9:23-24 23 Jesus said unto him, if thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
JONAH AS TOLD BY MARY MARGARET
FAMILY REUNION
My heart has been torn into by the events I once again must endure,
Never had I felt such forlorn and emptiness on this earth.
For once again I have traveled the path I thought impossible,
The sadness within my heart causes tears within my eyes to pool.
Not long ago this scene I had been a part of and I find that it seems,
Now I am feeling as though I am somehow living within a dream.
It cannot be that one has to endure the pain within my heart,
Once again I have seen one I loved so dearly from this world depart.
How can this be that I have not once but twice so soon to have lost,
Those I hold so dearly in my life, for I cannot bear the cost.
Of a lifetime of ties that have been suddenly ripped apart,
And within my being now lies a shattered, broken and bleeding heart.
Help me this day to see how this could possibly bring anything good,
For my life I’d gladly laid down in place of my loved ones if I could.
Oh to see something worth living beyond this day that I am in,
Would be at least something to help me start living life once again.
Afar in the distance dimly I see something coming within my vision,
Is it possible that I have been given an answer to the reason.
Of why I must go on in this my journey upon this earth which I now trod,
I find myself held close to a being like none other and I know it is God.
He is telling me this is not what I had wanted for you to have endured,
For I had created mankind to live forever without a single fear or tear.
In time to come all sorrow and pain will be erased with no trace about,
Don’t give up, a mansion awaits you and yours in your Father’s house.
Where our loved ones will gather once again in a reunion the like never before seen,
And looking back upon this life we now live in will seem but like a dream.
For the reality is, this world is but a testing ground upon which we now do trod.
A family reunion will be given like none seen before, for the children of God.

ISAIAH 55:11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
ACTS 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one’s bands were loosed.
LAMENTATIONS 3:22-26 22 It is of the LORD’S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. 23 They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. 24 The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. 25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.
AWFULLY GRAND TIME
IN TIMES LIKE THESE WE OFTEN HEAR IT SAID ROUND AND ABOUT
I’M TIRED OF THIS OLE WORLD AND I JUST CAN’T WAIT TO GET OUT
YET IN THE MIST OF LIFE’S TRIAL’S AND TRIBULATION’S SEEN ALL AROUND
MIRICLES ARE TO BE HAD, BEAUTY AND KINDNESS ARE STILL TO BE FOUND
PAINFUL CRYS ABOUND AS A LOVED ONE PASSES THROUGH THIS WORLD
TEARS OF JOY GLISTEN HEARING A NEWBORN’S CRY SETTING HEARTS A WHIRL
FEAR IN THE LONELY NIGHT WHEN ALL HUMANITY VANISHES WITHOUT A TRACE
COURAGE RENEWED AT DAWN UPON FINDING FRIEND AND FAMILY FACE
ANGER AND HATRED FOUND ABIDING IN THOSE WHO SHUN GOD’S LIGHT
MERCY AND GRACE HAND IN HAND EVER WALK TOGETHER DAY AND NIGHT
SEEKING THOSE THAT ARE TIRED AND TRODDEN, WEARY AND WORN BY LIFE
THE HOLY SPIRIT BECKONS US TO ABIDE IN HIS WINGS AND TAKE FLIGHT
FOR THIS WORLD CAN NOT HOLD THOSE LIVING IN JESUS CHRIST
ONCE PRISIONED TO THIS WORLD WITH NO HOPE TO WIN THE FIGHT
WE CLAIM HIS PROMISES BELIEVING HIS WORD WITH ALL OUR MIGHT
SOLDIER’S IN THE LORD’S ARMY, THE CROSS EVER HELD IN VISION’S SIGHT
THY WORD OUR MEAT, BREAD, AND WATER BY WHICH WE ARE FEED
RENEWING OUR SPIRIT, REFRESHING THE SOUL, QUICKENING OUR STEAD
FORGIVENESS OF SIN BRINGING PEACE IN THE MIST OF LIFE’S STORM’S ALL AROUND
GRACE AND MERCY SURROUNDS OUR BEING, WHERE ONCE SIN ONLY WAS FOUND.
LOVING MY GOD, THE GREAT I AM, FOR HE FIRST LOVED ME WITH ALL OF HIS MIGHT
EVEN GIVING HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO A WORLD HE KNEW WOULD TAKE HIS LIFE
I’LL FIGHT WITH EVERYTHNG THAT IS IN ME, TILL ONE DAY I WEAR MY ROBE OF WHITE
HAVING THE TIME OF MY LIFE ON THIS EARTH, KNOWING IT IS GOD’S BATTLE I FIGHT

JAMES 1:2-4 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
LIFE’S JOURNEY
That time of life’s end we are now in,
Lord knows the places we have been.
But by Thy grace we would have failed,
And seen our souls in danger of hell.
Thy patience, long suffering, and love,
Sent the Holy Spirit on wings of a dove.
Guiding us on life’s journey here below,
Bless the Lord, praise God, oh my soul.
